MOTU MachFive 2

MachFive 2 keeps everything in one single window, with the keygroup window expanding downwards, if required, over the synth controls. In addition, there’s a full-screen edit window that makes sample and keygroup editing easier.

The sample-level processing features, the Loop Lab for slicing and manipulation, and the huge library are just a few of the factors that place MachFive 2 right near the top of the league. Above all, though, the quality of the sample playback is fantastic, and with a new version on the way, MachFive’s future looks bright.
